2007 Roadmaster 24

Modified frame GRRRUVY Bikes cruiser

My fiance loves her NorthStar aluminum 26" cruiser, but wanted a BMX style bike to ride on the 4130 Sin City Series BMX rides here in Las Vegas. After trying different frames and sizes (20"- 26"), we selected this frame because of the low bottom bracket and dropped top tube. I removed the existing rear dropouts and fabricated the new ones to fit a 14mm rear axle. I also fabricated a boxed gusset for headtube strength. She wanted the brightest, most cheerful colors, so I suggested yellow & orange. After building a custom Trick Flix diecast as a mock-up, she liked it. She'll ride it with an Electra leopard-skin cruiser seat (show that pic later). The frame and fork will be painted pearl yellow with custom black & orange vinyl decals. I'll post finished pics later when its done.
